Built for macOS developers

Your Mac is full because you're a developer.

SpaceWise finds the node_modules, Docker images, build caches, old SDKs and forgotten projects eating your storage — and tells you what's safe to delete.

Scanning your development environment…~/Library/Developer/Xcode
The hidden cost of shipping

Developers leave a lot of junk behind.

Every build, image, simulator and abandoned experiment leaves a footprint. The Finder rarely tells the full story.

AI IDE & Editor caches

Antigravity, Windsurf, Cursor, VS Code & JetBrains store gigabytes of embeddings, bytecode & index data.

12 IDEs & tools21.6 GB

node_modules

Your projects don't need 40 copies of the same dependencies sitting around.

17 projects18.4 GB

Docker

Images, volumes and build caches quietly eat your SSD.

Unused data38.7 GB

Xcode

DerivedData and old simulators can become massive.

9 simulators14.2 GB

Forgotten projects

That side project from 2024 is still taking 8 GB.

7 projects21.3 GB

Toolchain caches

Homebrew, Cargo, Gradle, pip and CocoaPods accumulate old artifacts.

The SpaceWise difference

Don't just delete. Understand.

Every cleanup comes with context. SpaceWise checks package-lock files, git activity, and dependencies before offering anything for deletion.

  • Checks project activity and lockfiles
  • Detects dormant repos vs active workspaces
  • Explains whether dependencies can be regenerated
  • Moves files to native macOS Trash with instant undo

Developer-native by design

Built around how developers actually work.

Developer Storage Map

See exactly where your development storage is going with real-time visual treemaps.

Safe-to-Delete Intelligence

Checks lockfiles and project activity so you never delete active project code.

Zombie Projects Detector

Find abandoned repositories with months of dormant node_modules and build outputs.

Docker Engine Detective

Analyze dangling images, unused volumes, and build cache with 1-click prune.

Toolchains & Package Stores

Clean Homebrew downloads, Cargo caches, Gradle artifacts, and CocoaPods leftovers.

Xcode & Simulator Nuker

Reclaim gigabytes of forgotten iOS simulators, DerivedData, and stale archives.

Large File Hunter

Quickly isolate multi-gigabyte disk images, forgotten archives, and installers.

Trash-Safe Rollback

Files are moved to native macOS Trash instead of blind deletion, ensuring zero data loss.

ON-DEVICE ANALYSIS
No upload pipeline
Local by architecture

Your files stay on your Mac.

SpaceWise is designed local-first. Filesystem analysis and cleanup happen completely on your device; the app never uploads your file lists or code contents.

  • 100% On-device filesystem analysis
  • Zero telemetry or cloud file uploads
  • Works fully offline without an internet connection
  • Transparent, reviewable cleanup actions
